The force is strong in that one...

I saw this little comic and seriously LOL'd. Target can play Jedi mind tricks on you, I don't care how strong you think you are. Case in point:

I went to Target yesterday for one thing. Like a good, obedient (paranoid) Mommy, I listened to all of the books, blogs etc... when planning my nursery and did not order a bumper with our custom crib bedding before my son was born. Now, for the past 2 days, my son has gotten his leg (his ENTIRE leg up to his thigh this morning) caught in between the slats of his crib. His scream at 7am,when this happened, scared the bejesus out of me. So, we decided to take a trip to Target to pick up the mesh crib bumpers that fellow mommies have said good things about. Again, one thing was to be purchase at said store of the Dark Side.

I walked out of that store with a Starbucks iced coffee (love that my Target has a Starbucks...) and:

- A size 12 month boys shirt that has Elmo on it that says "Give Peas a Chance" (seriously, how could a diehard Beatles fan like me resist that cuteness)

- A size 9 month onesie with a dog on it that says "I'm Dad's best friend" (Obviously needed for my son to wear this upcoming Sunday for Father's day)

- A graphic tee for my husband that says YOSEMITE on it (since the 1,246 graphic tees that he already has are apparently not enough)

- A NUBY teether for my son (We lost our Sophie the Giraffe- Tragedy! A two pack of Sophie's is  on order from Amazon...but he needed something to hold him over, right?)

- Dayglow yellow nailpolish (WTF, right? Solid proof of the Target Dark Powers because it was obviously not a 15 year old girl that bought this nailpolish)

- Peanut brittle (that I think I bought because the tin it was in was so totally adorable. Note: We don't even really like peanut brittle)

I think I need not write that my final Target bill was a bit more than the $27.98 that the mesh crib bumpers cost.

Next time I will not give in! ....or maybe I'll just go to Wal-mart.
